Mischa Zverev

Nick Kyrgios will miss the rest of the season after being suspended by the men’s tour and fined an additional $25,000 for “tanking” a match and insulting fans in the mercurial Australian’s latest run-in with tennis authorities.

The ATP said Kyrgios was sanctioned for “conduct contrary to the integrity of the game” following an investigation into his behavior during a second-round loss to German qualifier Mischa Zverev last week at the Shanghai Masters.

Kyrgios gave little effort during the 6-3, 6-1 defeat, even patting easy serves over the net and turning away before his opponent’s serve had crossed the net.
